Will my signage need to change?
Yes. Signage and branding elements will be updated to meet Storage King’s guidelines. During the property review, we’ll outline the rebranding scope and provide a cost estimate based on factors such as site size, age, and existing signage.
Will I still be involved in the daily operations of my property?
Your role becomes completely hands-off. We handle marketing, customer service, revenue management, and all day-to-day tasks. You’ll receive regular performance reports and strategic insights, giving you full visibility without the need to deal with operational workload.
What if there is already a Storage King property nearby?
